Okay... I have a fair bit more info on the team above, how they were doing, some on the other teams, and more on the task itself.

On the TEAM: (until we know their names, let's call them GHB {Green-Headband team} for short)

** He had red hair, and she was a tiny (but strong) brunette. ** Assumed to be boyfriend/girlfriend, as they were close in age, but they could be brother/sister.

What about the other teams?

** also seen were a M/F and a F/F team (plus we have other team photo evidence from puddin's discovery) ** there were either 6 or 7 teams left ** there were a group of 3 teams (who caught the earliest flight) that arrived first ** That group included the Goths ** then Team GHB ** then either 2 or 3 further teams arrived about an hour later.

How was Team GHB doing at that point?

**they had been in first place the day before, then missed their flight connection by 5 minutes. **Their cab driver took them to Cluebox # 2 location first by mistake, making them even later. **They were now somewhere in the middle, but closer to the last group of teams than the first, and probably did not know the other group was that close behind them.

On the TASK:

** (order of tasks is not entirely clear, but based on the fact that team GHB were taken to the "wrong" location first, it is presumed that the following is correct) ** First Cluebox was near the base of the Fort (that would be here) Roadblock card?

(Roadblock may come first here) (10/16) ** From the clue box they next run up the hill (stairs in picture) to the Fort and do the zipline. **All teams do the zipline not clear at this time--there appears to be TWO ziplines (10/16)

Thumbnail--click me!

** Zipline went from the Fort and then hooked up to one of the towers on the city walls.

Next the Detour: **sign seen with two arrows, names of tasks not recalled. ** teams either did a task we can call for now: " ROW it " or "ROPE" it ** GHB team rappelled down the side of the walls, then waded over to another section of the wall and climbed up using rope ladders. ** picture of GHB team woman is after she has climbed up onto the wall via the rope ladder and while she and the crew guys are waiting for her partner to finish his climb

thumbnail--click me!

** it is then thought that teams may have gone to the other cluebox at the port but this is not clear--other cluebox could be something with rowboats?

** It is thought that Roadblock task followed the Detour/Wall Climb not clear at this time (10/16)

What happened next??

** on a predawn flight Dubrovnik--Zagreb on July 20: There were a number of crew on the flight, recognized from tasks on July 20, including one who may have been a producer. They made an ongoing connection in Zagreb. (possible Croatian Air #319 depart 6:25 AM arr 7:20 AM) ** There were NO teams on that flight or seen in the airport at that hour.

Thanks to puddin for this MAP which we thinks shows the possible task locations--and for Chateau's great location work seen above!

and just for fun--look hard and you can see:

To hold 400+ pounds up on cables stretched over 386 feet (I just measure the span using Google Earth) is going to be a really impressive piece of engineering.

But the clue box by Fort Revelin is very puzzling. All tasks are done when the rowers arrive at the docks or the ropers arrive over land. Is it a general TAR rule that every clue that tells teams to go to the Pit Stop comes from a task such as a Roadblock or a Detour?

And Vance's original sighting does report people in the center of the Old Town as well--so we have that to look forward to as well!

Her husband was waiting in the center of the old city and he saw pple running down the street with cameramen following along and he also saw cameramen and others with walky-talkys tracking other pple and talking btwn eachother with directions that pple were running.
